How the cups work
Auto-enrolled
Every verified fantasy team is in every cup. New teams joining before a cup's draw date slot straight in.
Head-to-head
Each round, you play one other team. Your weekend's fantasy points are your score. Whoever has more advances.
Bonuses still count
Cup quirks ride on top of regular scoring. 50s, 100s, 3-fers, 5-fers, POTM, SOC all contribute.
Tiebreaker
If two teams score identically on the day, the team with the better current main-league rank advances.
Different scopes
BHPL counts adult Sat/Sun league matches. The Junior Festival counts only junior festival matches. The BH Cup counts everything.
Trophy cabinet
Winner of each final goes in the cabinet. Finals land on 25 Jul (BHPL), late Aug (Junior Festival) and 5 Sep (BH Cup).
